(And whoever sees) a group who have gathered for a banquet: if the banquet is known to him, then it is good, might, and splendour; but if it is unknown, then it is the occurrence of a detested matter.

And it is said that his seeing a banquet is interpreted in ten ways: the birth of the Prophet (peace be upon him), seeing him, a marriage, a childbirth, a circumcision, recovery from illness, the arrival of one who was absent, condolence for a dead person, the fulfilment of a vow, and hospitality offered to a group.

hospitality / banquet

attributed to Ibn Sirin, Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam

Hospitality is a gathering upon good. So whoever sees as though he is inviting a group of people to his hospitality, then it indicates a matter that will bequeath to him regret and blame — the proof being the story of Solomon, peace be upon him, when he asked his Lord, mighty and majestic, that he might feed His creation for a single day, and he was not able to satisfy even one fish.

Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam, pp. 238–242

And if he sees as though he invited a group of people to his hospitality with foods until they had their fill, then he will become their chief.
